I should also add that it is quite a bit easier to get into a career doing IT work than software development..

  It may be easier to get into, but it also seems like an easier way to yourself into a lot of hot water, whereby a lot of stress is focused on you through several layers of management above. As a developer, I do not envy the IT people who have to fight fires such as company-wide security breaches. Or multiple failures in server farms. I mean, we sometimes have a difficult time estimating work, and due to combinations of estimating mistakes and caving in to product marketing or whoever, we sometimes have to meet unrealistic deadlines. But IT work can be completely unpredictable.
